During a root canal therapy, the pulp of a tooth (the soft tissue inside the tooth) is removed completely. Once it is removed, the empty space is thoroughly cleaned by removing decaying or damaged nerves and pulp, and cleaning out the canals before placing a permanent filling designed to deter from future infection or inflammation.
Next, a crown is placed over the affected tooth. This crown is generally created by a dental lab, meaning that a temporary filling is placed until the permanent crown is created and can be placed in the mouth.
